We built it because we couldn't find it.

The Problem: The US government spends billions on programs to support veterans and their families, and in a sea of services, they still have a hard time finding the services they actually need. There isn't a service problem, there is a navigation problem. So we built a Navigator.

The Mission: On Veterans Day 2026, we are launching the enterprise-grade Navigator to fix this permanently. But getting from a quick-turn prototype to a secure, national infrastructure requires capital.

How You Can Help: We are fixing the navigation, but we need your backing to build the ship.

OUR STORY:

COL (Ret) Kris Saling, our founder, spent twenty-plus years in the Army, the last decade of them running talent innovation — building the systems that were supposed to help Soldiers and families figure out what came next. And people kept asking the question that was hard to answer: which organizations actually help, and which ones help someone like me?

There are more than 40,000 veteran-serving programs in the US. Many aren't even registered. There's no independent signal about which ones work and which didn't. There were lists and directories, but nothing to help sort through them, and nothing to say what was good.

So she built it. A search agent, then a prototype, then a website.

We put it on LinkedIn mostly to see if anyone else had the same problem.

They did. The response was, to put it politely, more than we were ready for.

Now we have verified partner organizations and are working with federal agencies and established and reputable nonprofits in this space to help veterans actually find and access the organizations that are best equipped to help them depending on who they are and where they are in their journey. Free to use. Rated by the people who used them, not by the organizations who fund them. And guided by an AI agent that vets every submission against the organization's own public record.

Where it's going: On Veterans Day 2026, the Navigator moves from a prototype built at a kitchen table to real infrastructure—enterprise-grade, accessible to every veteran including those using screen readers, with verified identity: one veteran, one voice. And data nobody has ever had: which organizations actually work, for which veterans, at which moment.

Help us help our veterans and their families find the organizations that can help them best, and help us help our organizations meet the people they were founded to serve where they are.
